Catching up, patching vulnerabilities, and waiting on partners

Today was mostly about catching up.

Since my laptop was gone for a while, I had been taking notes offline, fragmented thoughts, half-written logs, reminders to myself. Today I finally found the mental space to organize them and publish the waiting posts here. It felt like closing a few open tabs in my head.

On the technical side, the day quickly shifted gears.

With the latest React server components vulnerability alerts, we woke up to a round of patch notifications again. I went through all our web apps hosted on Vercel and bumped the Next.js versions, making sure everything stayed in sync with the latest fixes.

While I was at it, I also started refactoring layouts using use client more explicitly, moving page by page. Most apps are now done, only Langnotes and Temettü are left. Temettü is a bit more tightly coupled and critical, so I want to handle it carefully. I’ll tackle that right after the partner agreement is fully wrapped up.

Speaking of partnerships: we’re still waiting on the banner link materials, even though the plan was to start on Monday. It hasn’t arrived yet. I’m starting to notice a pattern: our Turkish partnerships tend to move in a more relaxed, postponed rhythm. It still feels strange to me, but I’m learning to sit with it.

Hopefully things align smoothly once everything is finally in motion.
